Product Uses Include
Economical alternative to T240 in primary screens for tubulin ligand drugs
High-throughput tubulin polymerization or depolymerization screens
Production of microtubule substrates for HTS motor assays
Material
Tubulin protein has been isolated from porcine brain. The final product contains approximately 97% tubulin and 3% Microtubule Associated Proteins (MAPs). This version of porcine tubulin is an economical alternative to our highly purified tubulin (Cat. # T240) for anti-tubulin ligand drug discovery. It has been formulated to be compatible with 96 or 384-well format polymerization assays such as in Biochem? kits BK004P or BK011P .
Purity
Protein purity is determined by scanning densitometry of Coomassie Blue stained protein on a 12% SDS-PAGE gel. HTS02 contains 97% tubulin (MW. 55 kDa) and 3% MAPs (MW 35-280 kDa).
Figure 1: A 100 μg sample of HTS03 protein was separated by electrophoresis on a 12% SDS-PAGE gel and stained with Coomassie Blue. Protein quantitation was performed using the Precision Red Protein Assay Reagent (Cat.# ADV02).
